To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Mr.Fairey's 40/50 HP Chassis, 20-PY. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E28.2.34

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Referring to my conversation with you when you were in town recently, I enclose copy of letter from Mr.Fairey relative to his dissatisfaction with this car.

As arranged with you, I have asked him to send it to N. as soon as convenient but to let me have two days' notice in advance of his doing so as I want to arrange for some one to come down specially from Derby, as it rather looks to me as if it is a case of the car going back to Derby - (seeing that N. have already had it on one - if not more than one - occasion) - and if necessary fitting a new engine, as we must get Mr.Fairey happy with this car as he has been with his other one.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}

Enc. Copy of letter from Mr.Fairey to Lp.{Mr Lappin} dated 20.2.34
